PUMPKIN APPLE BACON SOUP
My work serves this soup occasionally in the fall. I love it and always miss it so I started trying to figure it out myself so I can enjoy it at home! Great comfort food for those dreary fall days!

Steps:
- 1. Peel and finely chop onion and set aside.
- 2. Core, peel and chop apples into small to medium chunks and set aside.
- 3. Prepare bacon by cooking crisp, then crumbling into bacon bits, and set aside.
- 4. In a large dutch oven, heat the bacon grease, then add in the onions, apples and spices until onions are translucent (approximately 8-10 minutes) medium-high heat.
- 5. Add in the chicken broth and bring to a boil on high heat until the apples are soft.
- 6. Reduce heat to medium, add in pumpkin and bacon. Allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 7. With an immersion blender, puree the soup, adding in the heavy cream. (You may substitute softened, chunked cream cheese also).
- 8. I do not have an immersion blender, so I placed the soup in batches in my blender adding in the cream. Soup will be velvety. Like a bisque. You may also, leave some bacon bits aside to garnish on top and add some pumpkin seeds to the top for a nice added touch.
